high level amazon s3 client. upload and download files and directories
npm install s3-clientnpm install s3-client --save
* Automatically retry a configurable number of times when S3 returns an error.
* Includes logic to make multiple requests when there is a 1000 object limit.
* Ability to set a limit on the maximum parallelization of S3 requests.
Retries get pushed to the end of the parallelization queue.
* Ability to sync a dir to and from S3.
* Progress reporting.
* Supports files of any size (up to S3's maximum 5 TB object size limit).
* Uploads large files quickly using parallel multipart uploads.
* Uses heuristics to compute multipart ETags client-side to avoid uploading
or downloading files unnecessarily.
* Automatically provide Content-Type for uploads based on file extension.
* Support third-party S3-compatible platform services like Ceph
See also the companion CLI tool which is meant to be a drop-in replacement for
s3cmd: s3-cli.

* Consider increasing the socket pool size in the http and https globaluploadDir
agents. This will improve bandwidth when using and downloadDir
functions. For example:
`js`
http.globalAgent.maxSockets = https.globalAgent.maxSockets = 20;
This contains a reference to the aws-sdk module. It is a valid use case to use
both this module and the lower level aws-sdk module in tandem.
Creates an S3 client.
options:
* s3Client - optional, an instance of AWS.S3. Leave blank if you provide s3Options.s3Options
* - optional. leave blank if you provide s3Client.new AWS.S3()
- See AWS SDK documentation for available options which are passed to :maxAsyncS3
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/Config.html#constructor-property
* - maximum number of simultaneous requests this client will20
ever have open to S3. defaults to .s3RetryCount
* - how many times to try an S3 operation before giving up.s3RetryDelay
Default 3.
* - how many milliseconds to wait before retrying an S3multipartUploadThreshold
operation. Default 1000.
* - if a file is this many bytes or greater, itmultipartUploadSize
will be uploaded via a multipart request. Default is 20MB. Minimum is 5MB.
Maximum is 5GB.
* - when uploading via multipart, this is the part size.
The minimum size is 5MB. The maximum size is 5GB. Default is 15MB. Note that
S3 has a maximum of 10000 parts for a multipart upload, so if this value is
too small, it will be ignored in favor of the minimum necessary value
required to upload the file.
* bucket S3 bucketkey
* S3 keybucketLocation
* string, one of these:
- "" (default) - US Standard
- "eu-west-1"
- "us-west-1"
- "us-west-2"
- "ap-southeast-1"
- "ap-southeast-2"
- "ap-northeast-1"
- "sa-east-1"
You can find out your bucket location programatically by using this API:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#getBucketLocation-property
returns a string which looks like this:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket/key
or maybe this if you are not in US Standard:
https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/bucket/key
* bucket S3 Bucketkey
* S3 Key
Works for any region, and returns a string which looks like this:
http://bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/key
See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#putObject-property
params:
* s3Params: params to pass to AWS SDK putObject.localFile
* : path to the file on disk you want to upload to S3.defaultContentType
* (optional) : Unless you explicitly set the ContentType
parameter in , it will be automatically set for you based on thelocalFile
file extension of . If the extension is unrecognized,defaultContentType
will be used instead. Defaults toapplication/octet-stream
.
The difference between using AWS SDK putObject and this one:
* This works with files, not streams or buffers.
* If the reported MD5 upon upload completion does not match, it retries.
* If the file size is large enough, uses multipart upload to upload parts in
parallel.
* Retry based on the client's retry settings.
* Progress reporting.
* Sets the ContentType based on file extension if you do not provide it.
Returns an EventEmitter with these properties:
* progressMd5Amount
*
*
And these events:
* 'error' (err)
* - emitted when the file is uploaded successfullydata
- is the same object that you get from putObject in AWS SDK'progress'
* - emitted when progressMd5Amount, progressAmount, andprogressTotal
properties change. Note that it is possible for progress to'fileOpened' (fdSlicer)
go backwards when an upload fails and must be retried.
* - emitted when localFile has been opened. The filefdSlicer
is opened with the fd-slicer
module because we might need to read from multiple locations in the file at
the same time. is an object for which you can callcreateReadStream(options)
. See the fd-slicer README for more information.'fileClosed'
* - emitted when localFile has been closed.
And these methods:
* abort() - call this to stop the find operation.
See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#getObject-property
params:
* localFile - the destination path on disk to write the s3 object intos3Params
* : params to pass to AWS SDK getObject.
The difference between using AWS SDK getObject and this one:
* This works with a destination file, not a stream or a buffer.
* If the reported MD5 upon download completion does not match, it retries.
* Retry based on the client's retry settings.
* Progress reporting.
Returns an EventEmitter with these properties:
* progressAmount
*
And these events:
* 'error' (err)
* - emitted when the file is downloaded successfully'progress'
* - emitted when progressAmount and progressTotal
properties change.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#getObject-property
* s3Params: params to pass to AWS SDK getObject.
The difference between using AWS SDK getObject and this one:
* This works with a buffer only.
* If the reported MD5 upon download completion does not match, it retries.
* Retry based on the client's retry settings.
* Progress reporting.
Returns an EventEmitter with these properties:
* progressAmount
*
And these events:
* 'error' (err)
* - emitted when the file is downloaded successfully.buffer
is a Buffer containing the object data.'progress'
* - emitted when progressAmount and progressTotal
properties change.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#getObject-property
* s3Params: params to pass to AWS SDK getObject.
The difference between using AWS SDK getObject and this one:
* This works with a stream only.
If you want retries, progress, or MD5 checking, you must code it yourself.
Returns a ReadableStream with these additional events:
* 'httpHeaders' (statusCode, headers) - contains the HTTP response
headers and status code.
See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#listObjects-property
params:
* s3Params - params to pass to AWS SDK listObjects.recursive
* (optional) - true or false whether or not you want to recursefalse
into directories. Default .
Note that if you set Delimiter in s3Params then you will get a list ofrecursive
objects and folders in the directory you specify. You probably do not want to
set to true at the same time as specifying a Delimiter becauseDelimiter
this will cause a request per directory. If you want all objects that share a
prefix, leave the option null or undefined.
Be sure that s3Params.Prefix ends with a trailing slash (/) unless yous3Params.Prefix
are requesting the top-level listing, in which case should
be empty string.
The difference between using AWS SDK listObjects and this one:
* Retries based on the client's retry settings.
* Supports recursive directory listing.
* Makes multiple requests if the number of objects to list is greater than 1000.
Returns an EventEmitter with these properties:
* progressAmount
*
*
And these events:
* 'error' (err)
* - emitted when done listing and no more 'data' events will be emitted.'data' (data)
* - emitted when a batch of objects are found. This isdata
the same as the object in AWS SDK.'progress'
* - emitted when progressAmount, objectsFound, anddirsFound
properties change.
And these methods:
* abort() - call this to stop the find operation.
See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#deleteObjects-property
s3Params are the same.
The difference between using AWS SDK deleteObjects and this one:
* Retry based on the client's retry settings.
* Make multiple requests if the number of objects you want to delete is
greater than 1000.
Returns an EventEmitter with these properties:
* progressAmount
*
And these events:
* 'error' (err)
* - emitted when all objects are deleted.'progress'
* - emitted when the progressAmount or progressTotal properties change.'data' (data)
* - emitted when a request completes. There may be more.

uploadDir works like this:
0. Start listing all S3 objects for the target Prefix. S3 guaranteeslocalDir
returned objects to be in sorted order.
0. Meanwhile, recursively find all files in .deleteRemoved
0. Once all local files are found, we sort them (the same way that S3 sorts).
0. Next we iterate over the sorted local file list one at a time, computing
MD5 sums.
0. Now S3 object listing and MD5 sum computing are happening in parallel. As
each operation progresses we compare both sorted lists side-by-side,
iterating over them one at a time, uploading files whose MD5 sums don't
match the remote object (or the remote object is missing), and, if
is set, deleting remote objects whose corresponding local
files are missing.
Syncs an entire directory from S3.

per response.
0. For each response that comes back with a list of objects in the bucket,
immediately send a delete request for all of them.

return;
}
// file exists
});
